I spotted the headline that Microsoft is offering buy Yahoo! up, and just about sprayed my monitor with coffee.
Yahoo!, as a company has been caught in the middle for quite some time - sandwiched between Microsoft (anybody else remember just how badly M$ screwed up what used to be Hotmail?) and Google, and not really making any headway on either front.
Somehow, I suspect that spending $44.6 billion to acquire Yahoo will simply enlarge the already bloated and less than functional MSN media group - and produce little of any real value to the user community.
A progressive voice shining light into the darkness of regressive politics. Pretty much anything will be fair game, and little will be held sacred.

No argument from me where MSN is concerned, unfortunately this is a typical move on the part of a large corporation to play the 'move the money' game, acquire another poison pill and strip Yahoo of any real assets and dump the leftovers onto the streets.
